Why is there no right-turn waiting gesture?
1 Answers
There is no right-turn waiting gesture because traffic in China drives on the right side of the road, so right turns do not affect traffic order and thus do not require a right-turn waiting gesture. Relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. The left-turn waiting area can reduce the waiting time for left-turning vehicles: At intersections, having a left-turn waiting area can effectively reduce the waiting time for left-turning vehicles. Since right-turning vehicles can turn at any time without obstructing the normal flow of other vehicles, there is no need for a waiting area. 2. When the straight-through green light is on, left-turning vehicles can enter the "left-turn waiting area" to wait for the signal: The left-turn waiting area can increase the capacity of left-turning lanes, reduce the waiting time for vehicles to make a left turn at the intersection, effectively improve the traffic throughput at the intersection, reduce vehicle congestion, and alleviate urban traffic congestion. When the straight-through green light is on, left-turning vehicles can enter the "left-turn waiting area" to wait for the signal. However, when both the straight-through and left-turn signals are red, vehicles must not enter the "left-turn waiting area" and should wait at the stop line; otherwise, it constitutes running a red light.
